Shevchuk held a dress rehearsal of the new program

One month before the start of the tour, a new album dedicated to DDT "Otherwise", the band went on a non-standard step. Concert to shine in a limited edition of the "sake of constructive criticism", which pointed to a narrow circle of fans and journalists. "Where are the flowers, my friends - Said Yury Shevchuk Yulianovich after the concert - .. Oh, Well, it's not a big theater, I understand." Here he is obviously lying. Bouquet was immediately presented, and the theater was not only big, but very large. Never in my life in the Hall JCC author never seen anything like it. In rooms, large sports hall, a 25-thousand people hang 500-700 spectators - accredited people and fans were quick to buy a ticket for not rocker height of 3000 to 5000. It is fair to that the western colleagues. Noted Mr. Shevchuk private functions as practice for a long time you, they gather in the main activists of the fan Group "DDT" During the dress rehearsal, Yuri Shevchuk and DDT showed almost complete set of decorations that are waiting for the majority of the audience in the future rounds. Album "Otherwise" - 2 discs and 28 songs - was released on the same evening and sold literally hot. In the best tradition of modern music, which he leaked to the Internet in one day. The JCC DDT but videokrasot was amazing sound quality. The possible exception of technology, the role played by arrangement room - side stands here were closed curtains, let the sound of "fly". The final version of the new songs in a number of cases are far away from the so-called Russian rock. This is a perfect melange of rock, electronic and wind instruments. It is also the explicit passages of Nine Inch Nails, for example, in the song "Hey, who are you" or U2's "The Gathering" (previously titled "Dawn" or "Angel" held). The roots of Russian rock is the worst in the "Song of Freedom" and "New Russia". Rejuvenating composition in recent years, Shevchuk added a new song of blood and seems deliberately tried to get away from the typical pattern of his fellow colleagues. For such a rhythm section, which is now playing in the DDT - a drummer and bass player Artem Mamai Vadim Nevelev - fighting groups usually have, and in his place is one of the top chords. Folk singing backup singer Alena Romanova, apparently are crucial to the new concept of the group leader. New texts Yuri Shevchuk - a huge mass of prishibayuschaya parables, sermons and reflections accompanying music. Metaphors and rhymes pour one after the text of the new things that might be interesting, read separately, but fit into the format of a rock concert, but not always easy. The general run of the concert, "otherwise" forced them to remember the spring "The Wall" by Roger Waters. Eyewitnesses say that Yury Shevchuk attended these concerts and saw what happens very closely. It must be recalled, his surprise appearance last summer on the stage of U2 in "Luzhniki". Their contribution to the new program of DDT on tangible - the ideas were eventually Ukrainian director Alexei Cy and Andrei Fedorov with the St. Petersburg video engineer Alexander Brovko implemented. On the screen, bars around the stage, projected conceptual minifilmy. At the opening of a new program of the song "Born in the night," draws the viewer with jet speed through a collage of artifacts of the Soviet Union. Try disaffected youth in the hood from the inside, "split screen" with a baseball bat under heavy riffs of "Crisis" - and it is open hi Waters. Infographic flashes rap-rock "Sunshine." "Coming for You," frankly overwhelming "Krupnyakov" empty interior is not the hospital, not the barracks. In addition to the Main, are black and white shooting live musicians a few extra screens as a special on the faces of the cube structures set on the sides of the hall. Concept stage, incidentally, can be seen on the website of DDT - is impressive, even a small computer model. Granted, sound, light and film is more than enough, the press yes and Yuri Shevchuk not miss the chance to apologize to the discrepancies. Rehearsal is the repetition of light somewhere out of sync, video somewhere made a little undone. It was promised that in a month, the stage is even more, and the screen is much wider. During an impromptu press conference after the concert at the JCC Yuri Shevchuk could not resist the irony of politics: "If he comes to us for the premiere, and not us - it will be better." His salt in it was - important ideas in this show was really enough. Kommersant
